Terry,
Thanks so much for your message, and I do think that the kind of snapping you describe would be useful. This is what autosketch would call a "nearest" snap with the cursor changing to a triangle to distinguish from a grid point snap.
I guess an "intersection" snap (where two shapes cross) could be achieved by inkscape applying this scheme to two distinct curves also?
I do think it would be a great feature, as with moving nodes along a path!
Best Wishes, Alex
